*Open Monday - Saturday By Appointment Only Auriculotherapy (also called Auricular Therapy) is a proven, effective, and painless tool to enable one to quit smoking by minimizing cravings and calming the nervous system. It is a safe and pain-free treatment to the outside of the ears (auricles) at specific trigger points. Auriculotherapy is by far the most effective way to stop smoking today. A desire to discontinue nicotine use is not necessary for a successful result. Our modified procedure uses similar principles as acupuncture, but without needless or pain. By stimulating specific points, we can intercept messages sent by the brain to the body that cause it to demand more nicotine. This disrupts the addictive process. In most cases, relief of cravings is noticed immediately after just ONE treatment! There are no known adverse side effects. The treatments are non-invasive and remarkably effective. We also use auriculotherapy in our weight reduction program. AMENITY Pager Phone Number All patients are given a contact number for emergency treatment.. The stop smoking treatment takes about 30 minutes. We simply apply a light,electrical stimulation to precise points on the external ear. Occasionally,a second treatment is beneficial,and we offer free "boosters" for an unlimited period of time post-treatment if a patient remains smoke free. Our weight reduction program consists of eight appointments held once weekly for eight consecutive weeks. The ideal candidate for the program is one who overeats or who lacks proper dietary habits. A healthy or regulated thyroid is mandatory. At each appointment,you will receive an auriculotherapy treatment which,when you eat,will make you feel full before you actually are. Counseling and a substitution diet are also included in the program. Your weight loss should average between 1 and 1 1/2 pounds per week. PRICE RANGE Contact office for current pricing.
